Late to Class, Early to Love

💗✨️

This is oneshot story of Estwilliam. Hope you enjoy it.

________________________________________

University was supposed to be simple.

Attend classes.

Pass exams.

Make friends.

Graduate.

At least, that was what William had planned.

Unfortunately, William had never met Est.

And Est had a remarkable talent for turning perfectly ordinary days into complete disasters.

It started on a Monday morning.

William was already late.

Very late.

Extremely late.

He ran across the university courtyard with his backpack hanging from one shoulder, a half-eaten piece of toast in his mouth, and his phone clutched desperately in his hand.

Behind him, four people were running after him.

Nut: William! Wait!

Tui: We're going to be late because of you!

Hong: He is the one running!

Lego: Then why are we running too?!

Nut: Because we're friends!

Lego: That's a terrible reason!

William didn't stop.

William: Professor said attendance is mandatory!

Tui: You were the one who told us to meet at eight!

William: I know!

Hong: It's eight forty-five!

William: I know!

Lego: The class started twenty minutes ago!

William: I KNOW!

They reached the stairs.

William nearly tripped.

Nut caught the back of his backpack.

Nut: Got you!

William: Let go!

Nut: You'll fall!

William: I'll fall faster if you keep pulling me backward!

Nut released him.

William immediately ran up the stairs.

The four friends followed.

They reached the second floor.

William pushed open the classroom door.

Silence.

Every student turned around.

The professor looked at William.

William froze.

The toast was still hanging from his mouth.

Professor: Nice of you to join us.

William slowly removed the toast.

William: Good morning.

The class burst into laughter.

The professor sighed.

Professor: Sit down, William.

William hurried toward the nearest empty seat.

Unfortunately, the seat wasn't empty.
